Ah yes, "rat fur".

You can buy it at Parts Express.

I'd actually like to replace my rat-fur covered rack with tolex. Anyone know where these boutique amp makers get their green, red, orange, etcetera colored tolex?

spray on truck bed liner works well also... look for a comapny called durbek I think that how you spell it... and way you can also go to the 18watt board and do a search for cab covering. there is a custom amp company that uses this stuff.. for got the name.. ok found the link for spray on stuff

http://www.durabakcompany.com/index.htm


hope this helps you... I am in the middle of building a few rack cabinets and I am going to spray them.. I will post picts. when I get them done
